Night Road

It's with a heavy heart that I write this review. Not because of the book; it was great. Because it was the last available Kristin Hannah book that I hadn't read yet. I still can't find her first one (A Handful of Heaven - 1991).

NIGHT ROAD really pulled at my heartstrings. Maybe because I'm a mom. I fell in love with Jude and Miles crazy twin teenagers and then—disaster struck. I was relieved that this set of teens seemed to have a decent relationship with their mom. The last few Hannah books that I've read had very contentious relations between the mom and the teenage daughter.

Of course, I stayed gripped with anxiety right until the end. Maybe it hit me doubly hard because my daughter was born the same year at the teenage characters. All the music, clothes, and cars were all so familiar. Too much so. I thought the granddaughter would resolve everything, but that just shows you how wrong I was. I took more than that for Jude to recover.

Keep the Kleenex close for this one. Loved it.
